HAHAHAHAHAHA Cho... I'm still mad at her from something she did in the fic I was reading this morning... anyway Cho is mean and still likes Harry and joined the Company of Tebo so that she could demolish it from the inside. Sorry had to get that out. I'm SO glad Ginny woke up. It's 2:30 something in the morning here and I dont wanna go to sleep!!! l0l Ill go on though...

I'm much less of a Cho fan than it might appear from this fic - but look on the bright side; if David had lived, I'd intended them to start dating as a sub-plot. :-(
You really are good. Amazing the ideas you come up with. Of course Ginny wanted to sacrifice herself for Harry. Paying him back has never been her motivation for loving him.

Its a subtle difference, I suppose, but I do feel that it is an important one.
I'm afraid she won't; she was supposed to be a more major character, but then David got himself killed and now she won't be back until the end of this fic.
Hmmm. something's fishy about Cho; why didn't he I.D. her? Well, I guess I'll just have to keep reading and find out! Love the story so far!

Why didn't Harry ask her to prove who she was? Shock, mainly. He was so off-balance from seeing her (because she was unexpected, the angry H/G mob can put down the pitchforks now) his defences weren't up. This is, of course, one example of why Moody needs to work with him.
Yay! I spent yesterday and a few hours today to read Harry Potter and the Grand Alliance and Harry Potter and the Bond, and now the first chapter in this story, and I must say that I´m impressed! You manage to keep every chapter interesting without writing so long chapters! I´m jealous!
Anyway, keep up the good work and update soon!
(And if this message make no sence what so ever its because English isn't my first language...)

It made sense - to me, at least. Of course, some people think I'm insane, and most of them are right...
Oh, my. I don't dislike Cho anymore. Fantastic start Gridley, I loved Harry's reaction to Cho just rocking up at his house, and his tactlessness is perfectly in character. And thank goodness, 's back
I'm a bit confused as to how Harry got to Hogwarts without getting in trouble, and where everyone else is (I can't imagine the Weasley's not having at least one person sitting with her at all times)
Can't wait for more!

I knew I'd regret deleting that scene...
Harry's guards (Company of Tebo folks) Portkeyed Harry to their HQ, then to Hogwarts entrance. There was a Weasley in attendance, but Harry asked them to step outside for a moment.
Aw, that's absolutely classic! I thought about getting in line to kill you when I thought you'd killed Ginny, but fortunately you didn't. Anywho, this is absotively brilliant. Please update soon!

Yeah, the mob burned down my barn and I still haven't gotten all the feathers out of my lawn. Um. Err. Nevermind.
I have really enjoyed "Harry Potter and the Grand Alliance" and "Harry Potter and the Bond," but was really happy to get this chapter. I also really appreciate the recap. This should be manditory for poor slobs like me who are reading so many different stories and get confussed. Looking forward to more.

I've found that, especially with sequals, I can never keep track myself, and figured that there would be others like me. I'm glad the recap worked well. It also serves as the first (although vague) Sluggy Freelance reference in this story.
Very fairy tale! And I mean that in a nice way, being a sucker for fluff. Great to see that Harry still doesn't wait to hear the full explanation being going off at half-cock! What else was Cho going to tell him, I wonder?
Guess I'll have to wait for the next installment! Who-hoo! More good reading to come! Excellent.

Cho's theory wasn't actually correct, and I'm afraid it won't be in the story. She was mostly a mechanism to make Harry realize what was going on (oh, and provide me with a nice ending to Bond). :-)
Bleck, Cho I just don't like her. She doesn't seem to be up to any mischief, but I still won't mind if she gets blow up.
I am with you sista'!
The ending gave me nightmares...But the begining wasn't as horrible as I was expecting...I would still like to see her get hit with a hair loss and acne hex...snort
She seemed so ...well...normal...I have to say I kept waiting for harry to whip off her mask while she snarled...'It would have worked too if it weren't for that pesk boy and his owl.'

Shrug. See prior comments. Until HBP comes out I can only guess how the characters will develop - my one certainty (and one of the reasons I read Harry Potter) is that they will develop.
I've said it once...no..twice...was it three times? Aw, heck who cares? You are the cherry on my double fudge sundae. The happy in my meal. Thanks! You made an excellent addition to the series.
Glad Cho didn't pull some crazy sappy...let me hold your hand while we both cry things.

I'm not into the tearful!Cho much - yes, she's emotional in dealing with Harry in OotP, but given how much of a mess I was in under similar circumstances I can't fault her. I bounced back, I think she will too.
